13th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries - IRCDL 2017
Modena, Italy, 26-27 January, 2017 http://ircdl2017.unimore.it Since 2005, the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries has served as an important national forum focused on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. IRCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term "digital libraries", including new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. Digital libraries may be viewed as a new form of information institution or as an extension of the services libraries currently provide. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate in this annual conference. The conference draws from a broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, social sciences, and humanities. TOPICS Topics include but are not limited to: - Multimedia digital libraries - Formal and methodological foundations of digital libraries - Digital libraries architectures and infrastructures - Algorithms and techniques for automatic content analysis - System interoperability and data integration - Data integration between galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) - Ontologies and linked data for digital libraries - Metadata creation, management, and curation - User interfaces and visualization - Information access, usability, and personalization - Long-term preservation - Collaborative and adaptive environments - Social networking and networked information - Quality and evaluation of digital libraries - Education and learning - Evaluation of research quality and impact (including novel metrics) - Exploitation of digital cultural heritage collections - Semantic publishing and digital libraries - New models and applications for digital exhibitions SUBMISSIONS Research papers, describing original ideas on those topics and on other fundamental aspects of digital libraries and technology, are solicited. Moreover, short papers on early research results, demos, and projects are also welcome. Papers should not exceed 12 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically as a PDF file at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ircdl2017 Submissions must be formatted according to the authors instructions for Springer-Verlag LNCS Proceedings (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Accepted papers in PDF format will be published in on-line proceedings (max 12 pages) at the time of the conference and presented at the conference. After the conference some selected authors will be invited to submit a revised version of their paper for a possible inclusion in the post-proceedings volume.
